Another update over the cel phone from Los Bancos, Ecuador: Milpe was truly pumping today, and Alan and Ruth scored a load of great Chocó foothill specialities like insane views of Scarlet-and-white Tanager, Yellow-collared Chlorophonia, Uniform Treehunter, Chocó Toucan, Chocó Trogon, Rufous-throated Tanager, outrageous displaying Club-winged Manakins, Glistening-green Tanager, and Ochre-breaster Tanager. Rufous-rumped Antwren was a bonus, this cute bird is widespread in the Andes but rarely seen. The year total gets a nice boost to 955. This reserve is run by Mindo Cloudforest Foundation (www.mindocloudforest.org), and The Biggest Twitch has already helped raise about £600 for them (thanks!).23.01.08
